I just cleaned the carb out. It's all good, float not sticking. The reeds are also good, not seated completely flat against the reed cage but maybe about the width of a razorblade between them and the cage, if that. I just put in a +2 key yesterday. I had to tap it in a little bit, very tight fit but it seemed to go back together ok. I'm wondering if the key might have gotten chewed up a little during install. Back out to the garage for more troubleshooting. Aarrgh. Never had this much trouble with a bike but I still love her. lol And all good info, guys. I appreciate the help.
